40-3221
An advanced level scriptwriting class that will teach the skills needed to write the most popular form in television today, the situation comedy. The class will require the students to write two half-hour comedies, one based on an existing prime-time television series, the other based on an original pilot concept. The scripts will be read and reviewed, step by step, in a classic "writer's table" story conference procedure. In addition, there will be lectures on the writing of both the established sitcom as well as the original pilot episode.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
